# crc(1)

## NAME

         crc - print the checksum of the file data

## SYNOPSIS

         crc file ...

## EXAMPLES

         crc *.c             # Print checksums of all the C programs

## DESCRIPTION

         The checksum of each argument is computed and  printed,  along  with  the
         file  length and its name, one file per line.  This program is useful for
         seeing if a file transmitted to another machine  has  arrived  correctly.
         It  is  conceptually  similar  to  sum,  except  that  it uses a stronger
         checksum algorithm and also prints the length.
